Tooltips

On this page we'll explain how to get Wowhead tooltips for your own site and all the possible customization options.

Wowhead tooltips provide a way for 3rd party fansites and extensions to display detailed information on mouseover. We are used by millions of players world-wide on your favorite sites like Warcraft Logs and Raider.IO. Recently, Wowhead tooltips even powered Blizzard's official Warcraft MDI Twitch Extension, allowing thousands of concurrent players to inspect the participants for detailed talent and gear information.

If you are a fansite that would like Wowhead to add some tooltip functionality to help your site, please email . We are always open to help, but may have a faster turnaround outside of major patch releases.

Once you have the <script> tag added to your site, the following parameters can be used in the data-wowhead attribute of your links (<a>). They can be combined by using the ampersand character (&amp;).

General

Custom URLsYou can make your links point to any page you wish, and still display a tooltip. Example:<a href="#" data-wowhead="item=2828">hai</a>

Icon SizesIf you add iconSize: 'small' to the whTooltips options you can make all icons "small" instead of tiny. Available sizes: tiny (the default), small, medium, and large.If you have iconSize added (even if it's just set to iconSize: true) you can also specify icon sizes on each individual link! Just add this HTML attribute to your <a> tag: data-wh-icon-size="small". The same icon sizes are available.

If you only add iconSize: true, and not iconizeLinks: true, then the icons will only appear on the links where you specify a size.

RenamingIf you include renameLinks: true to the whTooltips options you can rename all the Wowhead links on your site.

You can also specify individual links to be renamed! Just add this HTML attribute to your <a> tag: data-wh-rename-link="true".

Blizzard API Support

Wowhead uses spells to link to mounts and profession recipes. Blizzard's Game Data API returns more specific mount IDs and recipe IDs, and does not include their corresponding spell IDs. No problem! Wowhead also supports linking to mounts and recipes by the IDs used by Blizzard. The correct spell tooltips will show, and links will redirect to their spell pages.

Hiding Tooltip Data

Wowhead tooltips come with some information that the in-game tooltips do not display. If you'd like your tooltips to exactly resemble the in-game ones, you can disable the following components on Wowhead's:

maxstack: The "Max Stack: 20" line usually seen on trade goods

droppedby: The "Dropped by: Rexxar" line usually seen on looted weapons and armor from 1 boss

dropchance: The "Drop Chance: 0.01%" line also seen with "Dropped by"

reagents: At the very bottom of recipe tooltips, we add a line describing the recipe's reagents "Requires Gromsblood (2), Crystal Vial (1)"

ilvl: In-game, tooltips show the item level only on weapons and armor, but not on anything else. We show item level on all items. This will let users hide the item level on everything but weapons and armor.

extra: This is a shortcut to turn on all the 5 above options. With "extra" set, tooltips should look identical to in-game.

sellprice: Blizzard added the item sell price to all item tooltips, but you can hide it as well by setting this option.

You can disable it by adding a "hide" section to the tooltip HTML code in the <head> section and then specifying what parts you'd like hidden. If you wanted to hide only the Dropped By and Drop Chance information, your code would be as follows:<script>const wowhead_tooltips = { "colorlinks": true, "iconizelinks": true, "renamelinks": true, "hide": { "droppedby": true, "dropchance": true } }</script>

There are dozens of new bonus IDs in Legion. Here we will list some of the most important ones.

Without the data-wowhead="bonus=450" addition, this item wouldn't show Mythic stats. You can show two bonuses at the same time as well, for example, Mythic Warforged would be data-wowhead="bonus=450:448"

Raid Difficulties

Raid Difficulties in Warlords of Draenor are LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic instead of LFR, Flex, Normal, and Heroic.

Gear Augmentations

There are three ways players can get better-than-expected stats for a particular item--higher ilvl (similar to current Warforged), an additional gem socket, and the presence of a bonus tertiary stat. It will take a while to farm up a complete "set" and may not be on every piece of gear.

Warforged-inspired gear works much in the same way as it does currently--the item will have a slightly higher level.

Extra sockets: sockets are used much more sparingly in Warlords.

Tertiary stats: Movement Speed (Increases your movement speed), Indestructible (Causes the item to not take durability damage), Leech (Causes you to be healed for a portion of all damage and healing done), Avoidance (Reduces your damage taken from area-of-effect attacks).

It is very rare to get an item that has all three augmentations at once. You can show all three at once, for example:
